Gold star mothers is a term is a term that came into general use with the creation of service flags used to show that a family had lost a son or daughter in the service (a blue star) or a child that died in the service (a gold star almost covering the blue star so that a rim of the blue star still shows.) Mothers of slain service members came to be known as gold star mothers. The phrase is generic, and through customary usage has come to designate any mother whose child has been lost in the military.A group of gold star mothers met in 1928 to form the American Gold Star Mothers, Inc. (AGSM). AGSM is a national, private organization that is headquartered in Washington, DC. It has chapters all across the United States.
Can you and/or your organization serve as Water Brigade volunteers to help water the newly planted trees on planting day?
Volunteers are needed to help make sure each tree is deep watered with 15 gallons on planting day to help them get off to a good start.
Housing and Neighborhood Services Bureau staff will deliver all the trees and tools on planting day.
Thank you for helping to build the urban forest!
